xlr82v2, I'm not saying that these things cannot be accomplished with a 2 wheel drive. You are the perfect example that it can be done.

All that I am saying is that I believe that the 4x4 is going to do it easier, faster and safer. If someone is on a tight budget, then by all means go the economy route, nothing wrong with that.
Oh, I have seen the 35 series in person at the Tulare AG Show in California, it is a very nice tractor.

Almost makes me want to have one, but it is to big to be my small tractor and is to small to be my big tractor.
